Easy, no hassle chili, made thick and delicious—a perfect dish for using that leftover holiday turkey.

Directions

In large skillet, over medium-high heat, combine ground turkey, chopped onion, green pepper, garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Cook until turkey no longer appears pink. Drain off any excess juices.
Add all the seasonings and combine.
Reduce heat to medium-low and add diced tomatoes, tomato paste* and black beans. Stir occasionally. Cover and simmer for 35-45 minutes. (To increase "heat," add red pepper flakes and chili powder to taste.)
Serve hot and garnish with shredded cheese and fresh cilantro.
